Mary asks…
What if we applied the same logic to the food shortage as we do to oil drilling?
I mean we just can’t GROW our way out of a food shortage by producing more food can we? The nerve of these starving people! Why don’t they just conserve the food that they have or look for alternative sources of food – why are they so dependant on food anyway? Growing their own food to increase the food supply is just ABSURD! ABSURD I tell you!!

Beautiful analogy.
Lizzie asks…
Have you ever thought of moving somewhere that has much less governmental complication?
Sometimes I think it would be easier to own a cozy home somewhere with only electricity, to grow my own food, and to not have to worry about burglars or terrorists!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Yes,I have but it truly isn’t feasible some folks can live in isolation and others can not,especially within the family but we all dream of a place where the tiny stresses could be forgot about,I deal with that as back to nature camping,its called bare bones,you take only what is truly necessary,last year took a radio and never turned it on! I do this twice a year 10 days to 14 days at a time am looking to make it 3 weeks this year but my gardening gets in the way lol,my one sanity keeping thing and even it stops my fun.So like so many others we can dream .If you have never camped why don’t you give it a try?Hardest thing is keeping ice in 90* heat,other than that its a most relaxing and enjoyable past time.

where can i take my tools to get sharpened?
I wanting to take my garden tools, lawn mower blade and axe to get the items sharpened to make their use more efficient.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Buy a good 12 inch Mill-bastard file. It’s cheaper than the sharpening shop. All of the tools except the lawn mower are soft steel and the file will do the job quite well. The lawn mower will take a grind stone of some type.
Lisa asks…
Does it matter how to set up the row to grow potatoes?
I am wondering if you need to set up the row vertically or horizontally to grow potatoes? Also, what garden tools should I use to do this? If the potatoes are above the soil should I put more soil on top of it and before I plant should I put fertilizer on side of the potato seed or on top of it? Any potato growing help is appreciate.
GardenersCardiff answers:
The row thing isn’t that important – Potatoes need depth – the roots are very deep. It’s best to cover them with a good few inches of soil. Some of the best and fastest results come from using grow bags – place small slits all the way up the bag and insert the seedlings deep into the bag. In no time at all you’ll have loads of potatoes!
For ground: Place fertilizer on top of the soil after planting – not too much though, potatoes grow very well (and taste better when organic).
